Abstract:
There is provided an image forming apparatus that performs control so as to display a first maintenance screen containing a moving image indicating a work content required to resolve a maintenance event on a display unit in a case where occurrence of the maintenance event is detected by an event detection unit configured to detect the occurrence of the maintenance event that has occurred therein. Then, the image forming apparatus performs control so as to display a second maintenance screen containing the moving image indicating the work content required to resolve the maintenance event on the display unit according to a display instruction issued from a user in a case where the occurrence of the maintenance event is not detected by the event detection unit.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus connected to a sheet hole punching apparatus that applies a punch process to a sheet, and a method for controlling the same, in which from a die-set mounted to the sheet hole punching apparatus, die-set information including at least identification information for identifying the die-set is obtained, and in association with the die-set information, a number of times that the punch process has been executed using the die-set is counted. Control is performed to prompt a user to lubricate the die-set when the number of times counted by the counter unit exceeds a threshold value.
Abstract:
A printing apparatus capable of conveying sheets to a sheet processing apparatus and to control the type of a sheet to be used as a cover sheet in a case where a book bound product is generated by switching back sheets each having an image printed, inverting the sheets and folding the inverted sheets, and to notify an error to a user based on the type of a sheet to be used as the cover sheet in a case where printing an image on the cover sheet is designated.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus to perform image formation using a plurality of consumable parts includes a display unit and a display control unit. The display control unit displays, on the display unit, a first screen indicating at least a degree of consumption of a consumable part of a type in which an image forming operation stops in response to the consumable part reaching a time for replacement from among the plurality of consumable parts, and displays, on the display unit, a second screen indicating at least a degree of consumption of a consumable part of a type in which an image forming operation does not stop in response to the consumable part reaching a time for replacement from among the plurality of consumable parts.
Abstract:
A mechanism that makes it possible to output a saddle-stitched brochure in a correct page order when a post-processing apparatus that executes a saddle-stitching process by switching back a sheet is caused to execute the saddle-stitching process. Sheets discharged from a printing apparatus are switched back by reverse rotation of a conveying roller pair, and are conveyed into a conveying path for a saddle-stitch bookbinding process. The sheets are accumulated in an accumulation tray for the saddle-stitch bookbinding process. When the saddle-stitch bookbinding process is caused to be executed on the accumulated sheets by the post-processing apparatus, the order of image formation is decided such that the order of pages of images printed on the saddle-stitched sheets becomes correct. The images are printed on the sheets in the decided order of image formation.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a document tray on which a plurality of documents is stacked, a feeding unit that feeds the documents on the document tray, a detection unit that detects a double feed of the documents fed by the feeding unit, and a notification unit that issues a notification prompting a user to loosen the documents when the detection unit detects the double feed.

Abstract:
A printing apparatus has a first binding unit for performing a binding process at any one of plural positions and a second binding unit for performing a binding process at a single position and prints images based on image data on sheets. If the binding process is performed using the first binding unit, the printing apparatus prints images on sheets according to the input order of the image data. If the binding process is performed using the second binding unit, the printing apparatus prints images on sheets according to the input order of the image data, or prints the images according to an order reversed from the input order of the image data, based on the orientation of the images of the image data, the single position and the orientation of the sheets used for printing.
Abstract:
There is provided an image forming apparatus capable of providing effective guidance on operation procedures for fixing a failure such as a paper jam when the failure occurs. The image forming apparatus displays operation contents for fixing the jam and operations to be performed to resume the stopped job are displayed on a simple maintenance screen. When the jam is fixed according to the operations of the contents, the screen is switched to a reread standby screen. In a case where detailed guidance is necessary, the screen is switched to a detailed maintenance screen.
